Next month, Africa’s Hope will partner with the Assemblies of God, Liberia, for a three-day Educators Enrichment Seminar in Monrovia. Administrators and faculty from eight Bible colleges will gather for this strategic event, hosted by Dr. Jimmy B. Kuoh, president of Assemblies of God University in Brewerville.

With more than 600 churches across Liberia, the Assemblies of God is committed to reaching more people with the gospel. Africa's Hope is partnering with Dr. Kuoh and the Assemblies of God, Liberia, to equip more leaders to advance evangelism and church planting efforts throughout the country.

Please join us in praying for the Africa’s Hope team, the Liberian educators attending, and lasting fruit from this important time of equipping and encouragement.

Spirit-empowered, biblically trained leaders are the hope of Liberia!

Much of northern Côte d’Ivoire remains largely unreached, with many predominantly Muslim cities and villages having little or no Evangelical presence.

The Assemblies of God of Côte d’Ivoire has a renewed vision to reach the north through church planting. With four Bible schools already training leaders and more than 5,000 churches planted in the past decade, they have seen firsthand that where leaders are trained, churches are planted and communities are reached.

Now, they are preparing to launch a fifth Bible school in Korhogo dedicated to equipping pastors, evangelists, and church planters to serve throughout northern Côte d’Ivoire.

The land has been acquired, teachers are being identified, and students are being recruited. Africa’s Hope is partnering with the national church to help provide the facilities needed to launch the school.

Together, we can equip leaders, plant churches, and bring the hope of Jesus to the unreached communities of northern Côte d’Ivoire.

Côte d’Ivoire is home to more than 32 million people and over 60 languages and people groups. While the Church has experienced remarkable growth in the southern part of the country, much of northern Côte d’Ivoire remains largely unreached.

But the national church has a vision to change that.

Africa’s Hope is partnering with the Assemblies of God of Côte d’Ivoire to help make this vision a reality.

In January, Randy Tarr traveled with an Africa’s Hope team to Korhogo, the largest city in northern Côte d’Ivoire, where they met with national church leaders and local pastors and saw firsthand the plans for a new church planting school.

This strategic school will equip leaders to take the gospel into cities, villages, and communities across northern Côte d’Ivoire.

We are excited to stand with the national church as they pursue a vision to reach northern Côte d’Ivoire and see churches planted where Christ is not yet known.

There was a great celebration recently at Bethel Theological Seminary in Igede, Benue State, Nigeria, as a new solar power system was installed—bringing reliable electricity throughout the school, day and night.

The system now provides power for staff and teachers’ offices, student dormitories, the chapel, bookstore, library, computer lab, business center, classrooms, and staff housing.

Dr. Sylvester Uwah, Director of Education for the Assemblies of God Nigeria, expressed his appreciation to Africa’s Hope:

“Now we have light everywhere in the school…24/7. It was a great celebration time with thanksgiving to God Almighty, and appreciation and prayers for Africa’s Hope.”

He added, “We will continue to remain grateful to you for your labor of love,” thanking Africa’s Hope for helping Nigerian seminaries become more developed and standardized.

Reliable power means greater opportunity to train pastors and prepare the next generation of Spirit-empowered leaders in Nigeria.

We are grateful to God for the privilege of partnering with the Assemblies of God Nigeria in strengthening theological education and advancing the gospel across Africa.

Yesterday, a 40-foot container left our warehouse bound for Lomé, Togo—carrying resources that will strengthen Bible schools, equip future leaders, and support missionaries across West Africa!

A huge thank you to Pat Quick and the incredible volunteer team who helped make this shipment possible!

The container includes building materials and equipment for the West Africa Advanced School of Theology (WAAST) and Pan-Africa Theological Seminary (PAThS), personal items for three missionary units, Discovery Series books for Bible schools in Togo, solar panels for Bible schools in northern Togo, shelving for a Bible school in Burkina Faso, equipment to establish a print shop, and Bibles and other books for students.

The establishment of a new Bible school in northern Côte d’Ivoire represents a major step toward reaching one of the country’s least-evangelized regions. Dr. Honoré Daplex Ouentchist, President of the National Committee for Theological Education of the Evangelical Assemblies of God Church of Côte d'Ivoire, believes the school will become a strategic center for evangelism and church planting throughout the north.

“We believe that by establishing this school here in northern Côte d'Ivoire, we will have the most effective means of reaching not only the cities, but also the villages, and even the smallest settlements with the gospel throughout this region,” Daplex said. “Our desire is to see northern Côte d'Ivoire evangelized.”

Students will receive biblical training and practical ministry experience, traveling into villages to teach, evangelize, and plant churches. While the south has four Bible schools, this will be the first in the north—a region whose vast size makes the school an enormous blessing.

The initiative builds on the Assemblies of God’s previous vision to plant 5,000 churches, a goal reached by God’s grace, though most were planted outside the north.

“Now the time has come for the north,” Daplex said. “We must evangelize northern Côte d'Ivoire by planting churches in every city, every village, and every settlement.”

Africa’s Hope believes in this strategic vision and is committed to partnering with the Assemblies of God in Côte d’Ivoire to see this project become a launching point for evangelism, church planting, and missions across northern Côte d’Ivoire and into neighboring Guinea and Mali.

In a recent interview, Reverend Dr. Charles Marie Kondé, General Superintendent of the Assemblies of God in Côte d’Ivoire, described the dynamic growth taking place around the four Bible schools that have been established in the country.

“What we have noticed,” he explained, “is that wherever we have Bible schools built in some areas, the growth—I mean, in planting churches and the conversion of people—goes faster.”

Bible schools are doing more than training leaders—they are helping fuel the planting of churches and the transformation of lives.

Now, Dr. Kondé is envisioning that same dynamic playing out in northern Côte d’Ivoire as the national church develops a strategy to reach this largely underserved region.

Where leaders are equipped, churches are planted. Where churches are planted, lives are transformed.

Pray with us for a movement of Spirit-empowered, biblically trained leaders who will help bring the hope of the gospel to northern Côte d’Ivoire.

Last week, a container filled with libraries and other items for Tanzania, Burundi, and Kenya left Africa’s Hope. Inside are more than 17,000 books, discipleship resources, and other materials headed to nine Bible schools across East Africa.

These resources will enrich the studies of many pastors and ministry leaders as they prepare to minister in East Africa.

Thank you to everyone who has donated books to Africa’s Hope for this purpose. Your generosity is helping equip the next generation of leaders in Africa!

God called Pastor Arthur Kassi to ministry in 1997, just five years after he became a Christian—but saying yes wasn’t easy.

As the oldest son in his family, he had already seen the realities of ministry. He knew pastors who had answered God's call and had experienced many hardships and difficulties. He wrestled with God’s call and wondered how he would even afford Bible school. But God miraculously provided exactly what he needed through an unexpected act of generosity. Pastor Arthur went on to receive biblical and ministry training that prepared him to serve in communities across Ivory Coast.

“I am originally from the Abidjan region,” he said. “I was born and raised in Abidjan, completed all my schooling there, and later served in San Pedro, where ministry was going well. Yet God was calling me to the North.”

Today, he pastors in Korhogo, the largest city in northern Côte d'Ivoire and a predominantly Muslim area, where he is leading a vision to plant churches and reach people who have yet to hear the gospel.

This is why we invest in Spirit-empowered, biblically trained leaders across Africa. Because when leaders are equipped, the Church is strengthened and the gospel moves forward.
